NO, but the MDX does. So the future TL's and CL's might . NO on-board computer at this moment.

Joey, tell your friend with the nice 540i to shut the hell up. I will race him anyday, right after I strip every single sh*t out of my car.

I think is only with the Navi option, NO computer on the MDX without the Navi. In the MDX in comes as another menu on the Navi screen, just like the menu on the TL's for the A/C.

I think this is what we are talking about:

The MDX Navi / computer also has another great feature in the Navi - "breadcrumbs". This lays down some dots on unmapped roads not in the system so you can trace your way back. There are many smaller citys and mountain areas I've been where this would be a great feature. I hope they add more non volatile RAM to the unit so you can actually store roads to add to the DVD system. This would make it a superior Navi system.

O that's a pretty cool feature on the MDX, but I don't think I'll be taking my TL SUV off-road anytime soon...

Kenny, he does have Navi in his 540i, he also has a factory TV tuner that is better then my house's reception, and an 8" Kenwood widescreen in the armrest for the rear passengers. I'll get pics soon, when I go visit him when I get over the fear of going to NYC..
